From bestselling author Winter Renshaw comes the journey from heartbreak to healing, as a young woman hits the road to complete her late brother’s bucket list—and his best friend comes along for the ride.

After losing her twin brother, Cate Beauclere inherits not only his old guitar and a collection of childhood memories, but also his secret bucket list packed with small-town wanderlust and things he always meant to do. Now Cate has the chance to complete it for him, and she’s not going to waste it.

Enter Avett Dean. Resident grump, fourth-generation Colton Valley farmer, her brother’s childhood best friend, and the bane of Cate’s existence since kindergarten. But the idea of her driving alone from one no-service town to the next stirs Avett’s protective instinct. She can argue with him all she wants, but he’s driving.

At first, their clashing personalities spark blowouts at every turn. But somewhere between roadside diners, drive-in movies, cheap motels, and the tension simmering in his pickup truck, something has changed between the lifelong adversaries—though neither wants to admit it.

As the trip nears its end, getting home is the easy part. Accepting that they’ve accidentally fallen for each other? Not so much.
